Robert Page

Bob Page was a legendary coxswain in his day. He first represented New Zealand in 1961 in the eight-oar crew for the Australian test series and followed this with selection in the 1962 Commonwealth Games eight at Perth winning the silver medal. As a coxswain he was in demand and joined the Auckland Rowing club coxed four in 1963 winning the Prince Philip cup at Royal Henley regatta. This was followed by selection for the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo in the same coxed four. He returned to the New Zealand eight in 1966 for the World Championships in Bled and followed this with the eight-oar crew at the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City. Bob died several years ago, and his medal will be received by his wife, Juliet.
